It’s the eleventh day of the 12 Days of Logos, and we have quite a deal for you. The 20-volume NIV Application Commentary: New Testament is now available for only $249.99! This is nearly 50% off the retail price of $477.99. In fact, right now the NIV Application Commentary is even 35% cheaper than our usually great sale price.

The NIV Application Commentary: New Testament is unlike any other commentary series. Not content to simply focus on application of the biblical text, this series seeks to actually work through the process of moving from the original meaning of the text towards it contemporary significance. It would be a mistake to see the NIV Application Commentary as devotional literature. The ultimate goal of this series may be application, but that doesn’t stop these commentaries from being credible reference material.

Original Meaning: This section helps you grasp the author’s intended meaning by looking at the biblical passage’s historical, literary, and cultural context.

Bridging Contexts: In this section, the commentary wrestles with discerning the historical aspects of the passage which have direct twenty-first century correlations—and those which do not. This section focuses on drawing out both explicit and implicit parallels.

Contemporary Significance: By looking at contemporary issues and contexts, the authors of the NIV Application Commentaries confront modern readers with ideas and principles as powerful and challenging as the Scriptures would have been to its original audience.

Here is what people are saying about the series (check out the product page to see even more endorsements):

The NIV Application Commentary series doesn’t fool around. It gets right down to business, bringing this ancient and powerful Word of God into the present so that it can be heard and delivered with all the freshness of a new day, with all the immediacy of a friend’s embrace.
—Eugene H. Peterson

It is encouraging to find a commentary that is not only biblically trustworthy but also contemporary in its application. The NIV Application Commentary will prove to be a helpful tool in the pastor’s sermon preparation. I use it and recommend it.
—Charles F. Stanley, pastor, First Baptist Church of Atlanta

The NIV Application Commentary series promises to be of very great service to all who preach and teach the Word of God.
—J. I. Packer, Regent College

This massive collection includes commentaries, dictionaries, Bible translations, devotionals, preaching resources, illustrations, and more. The Nelson Bible Reference Bundle includes titles from some of the top scholars and authors like Jack W. Hayford, John F. MacArthur, Robert J. Morgan, Howard F. Vos, Max Lucado, F. F. Bruce, and many more.

There are also several series included in the Nelson Bible Reference Bundle:

The Word Biblical Commentary (59 vols.)—This popular commentary series is sold for $699.95 when bought separately. But by picking up the Nelson Bible Reference Bundle during 12 Days, you can get the WBC plus 140 other titles for $100 less than the WBC price alone!

Logos Bible Software has hired some great software developers in the past year, but we still need more!

Earlier this year we offered a $1,000 Logos credit to anyone who referred us a programmer we hired. We’re happy to extend that offer, and hope lots of you will take us up on it.

We believe that Bellingham, Washington is one of the country’s greatest places to live, and we’ve gone to great lengths to make our office here a Best Workplace. But sometimes moving to Bellingham isn’t possible for everyone.

So in January we’re opening a development office in the Phoenix, Arizona area. Different weather, different community size, and more people who can join our team without having to move!

(Why Phoenix? To start with, we have direct flights from Bellingham’s easy, little airport to the easy, little Phoenix-Mesa Gateway airport. And then there’s the sun, which apparently spends the winter in Arizona so we will appreciate Bellingham’s glorious summers all the more. . . .)

So now it doesn’t matter if you want a big town or small town, a large office or a small group of co-workers, waterfront living or a desert paradise. If you’re a software developer who wants to serve the church and the world, we’re the place to be—in two places!
